@Render Bo Jackson, and it's not close. Bo was bigger, stronger and faster all around.
@PoliticalEd Bo was not faster.
"Officially", at the Combine, and before electronic timing.
Ever see Jerry Rice's "official" 40 time? (you'll laugh)
Understand that in that Bo-facepalms-Deion video, Deion came from the far side of the field, overcame the angle, and caught Bo...before Bo stiff armed Deion into the ground.
That's why I didn't mention 40 times.
Deion could run his mouth because he could back it up. Except that he couldn't tackle Bo Jackson or Brandon Jacobs.

Deion's teams were 2-0 vs the Seahawks. He had 2 interceptions, one returned for a touchdown.

@Render C'mon, beating the Seahawks, especially in that era, is no claim to greatness it just meant it was Sunday again in the PNW. 🤣
@Render I'm a Seahawks fan, so I saw Bo quite a bit, and other than flat running over Bosworth, he beat us around the end many times. Deion didn't. Let's put it this way - if my untalented self had to tackle either one of them (and I played college rugby), I'd pick Deion every time. Let me see if I can find the story of the old-timer who heard his bat hit the ball from Landsdowne Avenue.
